Liza Jane Lyrics - American Folk, Game And Activity Songs For Children - Pete Seeger

I got a girl in Arkansas, little Liza Jane 

She sleeps in her kitchen 

With her feet in the hall, little Liza Jane 

Oh, won't you? Oh Eliza, little Liza Jane 

Oh, won't you? Oh Eliza, little Liza Jane 

I'm gonna marry her if I can 

She loves me 'cause I'm a union man 

Heard a speech by the President 

Wants to put me in a regiment

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I went to the draft and stood in line 

Now I'm a number 609 

Said in Congress yesterday 

"Take the right to strike away" 

They say that labor camps are fine 

To make the young folk toe the line 

I can't marry you today 

I can't afford it on my pay 

Photos 

Cut the pay and raise the rents 

It's all for national defense 

Better make the government change its plan 

I aim to be a married man 

Dry your tears, get out your knittin' 

I don't aim to be no bundle for Britain
